Friends Storytime

I was able to do this storytime twice; once with preschoolers and the second with an all ages group.  Both times hugely successful!

Song

Two Little Friends
(tune: 5 Little Ducks)

Two little friends went out to play
On a bright and sunny day
They jumped, they ran, they had such fun
So they called another little friend to come,
"Come and play!"

Continue up through 5

They played and played till the day was done!

Magnet Board

Hide and Seek Friends Curious George

Curious George is playing hide and seek
Is he under the __________(color) hat?
Let's take a peek!

Play and Learn

Parachute!  You need lots of friends to do the parachute!
CD Music:  Alabama, Mississippi by Jim Gill
I taught the children how we would do the parachute during the song--slowly up and down until we get to "Shake, shake, shake..." then we go fast and wild!  Then back to slow and gentle.  The second time around the kids sat under the parachute and the grown-ups did the parachute in the same manner.
